/**
 * SECTION:clutter-units
 * @short_description: A logical distance unit
 *
 * #ClutterUnits is a structure holding a logical distance value along with
 * its type, expressed as a value of the #ClutterUnitType enumeration. It is
 * possible to use #ClutterUnits to store a position or a size in units
 * different than pixels, and convert them whenever needed (for instance
 * inside the #ClutterActor::allocate() virtual function, or inside the
 * #ClutterActor::get_preferred_width() and #ClutterActor::get_preferred_height()
 * virtual functions.
 *
 * In order to register a #ClutterUnits property, the #ClutterParamSpecUnits
 * #GParamSpec sub-class should be used:
 *
 * |[
 *   GParamSpec *pspec;
 *
 *   pspec = clutter_param_spec_units ("active-width",
 *                                     "Width",
 *                                     "Width of the active area, in millimeters",
 *                                     CLUTTER_UNIT_MM,
 *                                     0.0, 12.0,
 *                                     12.0,
 *                                     G_PARAM_READWRITE);
 *   g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class, PROP_WIDTH, pspec);
 * ]|
 *
 * A #GValue holding units can be manipulated using clutter_value_set_units()
 * and clutter_value_get_units(). #GValue<!-- -->s containing a #ClutterUnits
 * value can also be transformed to #GValue<!-- -->s initialized with
 * %G_TYPE_INT, %G_TYPE_FLOAT and %G_TYPE_STRING through implicit conversion
 * and using g_value_transform().
 *
 * #ClutterUnits is available since Clutter 1.0
